Final Project Due 12/18. If you turn it in by 12/12, I ll forgive 5 pts of deductions. Worth 20% of your grade, equivalent to 6-7 homework assignments. Final Exam is worth 25%. Find an interesting problem and investigate it anything related to spaceflight mechanics (maybe even loosely, but check with me). Requirements: Introduction, Background, Description of investigation, Methods, Results, Conclusions, References. You will be graded on quality of work, scope of the investigation, and quality of the presentation. The project will be built as a webpage, so take advantage of web design as much as you can and/ or are interested and/or will help the presentation. Lecture 28: Interplanetary 4
Final Project Instructions for delivery of the final project: Build your webpage with every required file inside of a directory. Name the directory LastName_FirstName i.e., Parker_Jeff/ there are a lot of duplicate last names in this class! You can link to external sites as needed. Name your main web page index.html i.e., the one that you want everyone to look at first Make every link in the website a relative link, relative to the directory structure within your named directory. We will move this directory around, and the links have to work! Test your webpage! Change the location of the page on your computer and make sure it still works! Zip everything up into a single file and upload that to the D2L dropbox. Lecture 28: Interplanetary 5
HTML If you ve never coded in HTML, don t fret (but don t wait to try it out). Lots of tutorials online One student suggested this page for HTML tutorials: http://www.codecademy.com/dashboard Think of a webpage as a blank canvas, fill it with invisible tables, lists, links, animations, pictures, and text. Word, LaTex, and other programs can save documents as HTML, but then it s awful to edit / personalize. Lecture 28: Interplanetary 6

Building an Interplanetary Transfer Simple: Step 1. Build the transfer from Earth to the planet. Step 2. Build the departure from the Earth onto the interplanetary transfer. Step 3. Build the arrival at the destination. Added complexity: Gravity assists Solar sailing and/or electric propulsion Low-energy transfers Lecture 28: Interplanetary 41

Sphere of Influence Measured differently by different astrodynamicists. Hill Sphere Laplace derived an expression that matches real trajectories in the solar system very well. Laplace s SOI: Consider the acceleration of a spacecraft in the presence of the Earth and the Sun: Lecture 28: Interplanetary 44
Sphere of Influence Motion of the spacecraft relative to the Earth with the Sun as a 3 rd body: Motion of the spacecraft relative to the Sun with the Earth as a 3 rd body: Lecture 28: Interplanetary 45
Sphere of Influence Laplace suggested that the Sphere of Influence (SOI) be the surface where the ratio of the 3 rd body s perturbation to the primary body s acceleration is equal. Lecture 28: Interplanetary 46

Interplanetary Transfer Use Lambert s Problem Earth Mars in 2018 Lecture 28: Interplanetary 52
Interplanetary Transfer Lambert s Problem gives you: the heliocentric velocity you require at the Earth departure the heliocentric velocity you will have at Mars arrival Build hyperbolic orbits at Earth and Mars to connect to those. V-infinity is the hyperbolic excess velocity at a planet. Lecture 28: Interplanetary 53
Earth Departure We have v-infinity at departure Compute specific energy of departure wrt Earth: Compute the velocity you need at some parking orbit: Lecture 28: Interplanetary 54

Gravity Assists A mission designer can harness the gravity of other planets to reduce the energy needed to get somewhere. Galileo launched with just enough energy to get to Venus, but flew to Jupiter. Cassini launched with just enough energy to get to Venus (also), but flew to Saturn. New Horizons launched with a ridiculous amount of energy and used a Jupiter gravity assist to get to Pluto even faster. Lecture 28: Interplanetary 63
Gravity Assists Gravity assist, like pretty much everything else, must obey the laws of physics. Conservation of energy, conservation of angular momentum, etc. So how did Pioneer 10 get such a huge kick of energy, passing by Jupiter? Lecture 28: Interplanetary 64
Designing Gravity Assists Rule: Unless a spacecraft performs a maneuver or flies through the atmosphere, it departs the planet with the same amount of energy that it arrived with. Guideline: Make sure the spacecraft doesn t impact the planet (or rings/moons) during the flyby, unless by design. Turning Angle ~V out 1 ~V 1 in r p = µ planet V 2 1 E = ~ V 2 1 2 ~ V out 1 = ~ V in Lecture 28: Interplanetary 65 0 @ cos 1 1 2 1 1A
How do they work? Use Pioneer 10 as an example: OUT OF FLYBY INTO FLYBY ~V sun sc = ~ V 1 + ~ V sun jup V sun sc V sun jup V sun jup ~V 1 ~ V out 1 = ~ V in 1 ~V 1 = ~ V sun sc ~V sun jup Lecture 28: Interplanetary 66
Gravity Assists We assume that the planet doesn t move during the flyby (pretty fair assumption for initial designs). The planet s velocity doesn t change. The gravity assist rotates the V-infinity vector to any orientation. Check that you don t hit the planet V sun jup V sun jup V sun sc ~V 1 ~V 1 = ~ V sun sc ~V jup sun ~V 1 Lecture 28: Interplanetary 67

Designing a Gravity Assist Build a transfer from Earth to Mars (for example) ~V 1 in Defines at Mars Build a transfer from Mars to Jupiter (for example) ~V 1 out Defines at Mars Check to make sure you don t break any laws of physics: r p = µ planet V 2 1 ~ V out 1 = ~ V in 0 @ cos 1 1 2 1A Lecture 28: Interplanetary 69 1
Gravity Assists Please note! This illustration is a compact, beautiful representation of gravity assists. But know that the incoming and outgoing velocities do NOT need to be symmetric about the planet s velocity! This is just for illustration. Lecture 28: Interplanetary 70
Gravity Assists We can use them to increase or decrease a spacecraft s energy. We can use them to add/remove out-of-plane components Ulysses! We can use them for science Lecture 28: Interplanetary 71
